⏳ How to Create Time-Limited Access for Digital Products
🤔 Why Use Time-Limited Access?
Sometimes you want to create urgency around your content, maybe it's an exclusive training or a bonus module that's only available for a set window after purchase. Time-limited access is a powerful way to drive action and boost conversions! 🚀
You might be wondering: "Can I set content to expire based on watch time or a specific date?" While auto-expiring offers based on watch time aren't currently supported, Access Duration is a built-in feature that does the trick, and it only takes a minute to set up.
✅ How It Works: Access Duration + Small Price
Here's the secret: when you set an access duration on a product, the countdown starts the moment someone purchases it.🎯
The buyer gets instant access to your content, and once the access duration expires, they can no longer view it. Simple, effective, and no workarounds needed.
📝 Note:
Access duration only works on paid products.
Free products (price = $0) → Access duration does not apply
Paid products (price ≥ $1) → Access duration starts after purchase
👉 If you want to limit access time, set the price to at least $1.
🛠️ Step-by-Step Setup
Follow these steps to create a time-limited digital product:
Navigate to your Dashboard and click Products on "My Hub" Page.
Click "+ Add Product" (or edit an existing one).
Upload your content (video, files, modules, or schedule Live) as you normally would.
Scroll down to the Pricing section and set a price.
Find the Access Duration field and set how long buyers should have access, for example, 1 week, 8 weeks, or Lifetime.
Hit Save and publish your product! 🎉
📝 Note: For a single-payment price on custom products (Paid DMs), courses, digital downloads, URL products, or communities, you can choose One-time purchase instead of Lifetime in the Access Duration field. With One-time purchase, access doesn't expire, but your product's landing card, checkout, and storefront won't show it as Lifetime access. Lifetime is still there if you want it, and it works exactly as before. If a product has both Price 1 and Price 2, you can set this separately for each.
💡 Tips & Ideas for Time-Limited Products
Now that you know how to set it up, here are some creative ways to use time-limited access:
Bonus content — Reward early buyers with exclusive access that expires after 7 days.
Challenge modules — Run a 14-day challenge where each module is only available for the duration.
Seasonal promotions — Offer holiday-themed content with a built-in expiry date.
The possibilities are endless! Time-limited access helps you create scarcity, drive faster decisions, and make your offers feel truly exclusive. 🌟
📝 Note:
Once a buyer's access duration expires, they won't be able to view the content anymore. If you want to offer an extension, you can create a new product link or adjust the duration on the existing product for future buyers.
